"Over Peoria" by Robert McEntee, a tribute to Dan Fogelberg

Over Peoria
by Robert McEntee

On Dan's birthday, Deborah and I received a beautiful song that Dan's long-time friend and band mate Robert McEntee had written for him. It took a couple of days, but we finally convinced him that he should share his song with everyone. Give a listen, when you have a chance, to this loving tribute to Dan called "Over Peoria".

"Over Peoria"

you were never big on goodbyes, never big on goodbyes
you didn't let on, and I never got wise
that's all fine and well and good
the world's still spinning as it should

to make a moonrise, Over Peoria
as the raven flies, Over Peoria

you were the baby of the family, everyone's golden child
you were playing in 'the Coachmen', everyone knew you got style
set out west to conquer and paint the world
it took a few tries but you found your perfect girl

and the rain turned to snow, Over Peoria
a decade of blue skies, Over Peoria

you were never big on goodbyes, surprise surprise
just how much, I now realize
when I travel across the great midwest
I always book a window seat

and keep an eye out, Over Peoria
there's blue sky, Over Peoria
got sunshine, Over Peoria
